Root boost put in humidifier

monstercoi · Jan 20, 2021

Hello,planning to start a grow,got all my instruments i'm still thinking how to make the best conditions for the plant to grow
i read that humidity plays a big role in the early stages when the root isn't really developed and much water is absorbed through leafs
For that i bought a smart humidifier that lets me set up the humidity level
Now i'm thinking to add root enhancers to the water in the humidifier will help it grow roots faster
What do you think?
Planning to do a journal to see exactly how it goes
Cheers!!

it may clog your filter but give it a go whats the worst that can happen you have to rinse out the filter in veg i stay as close to 80 and 80 as i can get like a jungle

When cloning - yes. High humidity and warmer temps.

Are you trying to root some clones? Or are you sprouting from seed?

Ultrasonic humidifiers won't 'pump' the fertilizer out into the air. What it will do is break down into a powder that'll coat things. To include the inside of the humidifier.

I've experimented with things. Coming to the conclusion that only distilled or RO water goes into the humidifier. Nothing gets added.

Example. Tap water produces a white calcium dust. It doesn't stay dissolved in the water. The calcium powder will stick to everything. To include clogging the carbon. I've also experimented with copper fungicide in the tank. The copper is so heavy. The humidifier won't even mist it.

Adding anything to the humidifier besides pure water also tends to corrode anything that isn't plastic. Plus, the left over whatever you added is now food for bacteria and mold.

If there was a fertilizer you could add to a humidifier. The big companies would already be selling it.
